Darmera
I co-founded a gallery/classroom/studio space in downtown Dunsmuir, CA called Darmera Studios with my fine-art friend Davis Elliott. Darmera is an art studio dedicated to the natural world and community.
We will open our doors May 4, 2024. Sign-up for our newsletter containing information about gallery shows, classes, workshops, and events.
Darmera has three main spaces. The gallery space is in the front facing Dunsmuir Ave. The middle space is a classroom for the various art classes and retreats we will be hosting. The back warehouse space is for our art studios.
We have been working diligently on the remodel every weekend. Enjoy a few images of the process below you should also follow us on Instagram - @darmera.studio for the entire remodel journey.

Davis milling a Sugar Pine log for trim and studio benches. Just look at the beautiful stack of wood drying in the back studio warehouse space. The beams in the foreground were milled by Davis a few years ago. We are using them as a post and a bench in the gallery.
